KITTEN NAMED HOPE SET ON FIRE BY OWNERS IS NOW RECOVERING

Hope's will to live got her through the ordeal, as well as unexpected human kindness. 
 
Hope was found two weeks ago next to a dumptser in Inskter, Michigan. Her back and sides were burnt, and her body was emaciated, according to Hometown Life. 
 
An 85-year-old woman took the 7-month-old kitten in and attempted to treat her for two weeks with no apparent results.
 
On Tuesday, the woman took Hope to nonprofit Tail Wagger's 1990, in Livonia, Michigan. 'We opened the carrier and stood in complete shock,' Laura Zain, founder of Tail Wagger's 1990, told The Huffington Post. 'It was the worst thing I've ever seen in 25 years of doing this. I've never seen something so sadistic, ever.'
 
Unable to treat the cat, Zain and Tail Wagger's 1990 vice president Judy Marinetti took the anival to nearby Sheehy Animal Hospital.
 
Dr Sharon Sheehy confirmed that even Hope's ears were burnt.
 
Zain told The Huffington Post that she could see Hope's will to live. 'I started petting her head, she immediately started purring and kneading her feet and giving me a sign, like, hey, I'm okay.'
 
Dr Sheehy and her vet tech Tracy Howard ran blood tests and performed surgery. Two hours later, Hope was cleaned up and given pain medication -- and will live.Hope will need another surgery, and possibly several others.
 
Zain has said it will take at least six months before she is able to adjust to home life -- and many more before she is to be adopted.  Contributions for her care are being accepted.
